Every society is distinct, in large part, to the extent to which there are cultural divisions of activities that define roles taking between the men and women folks. This article written by Dr. (Mrs.) R. A. Ocho and first published in the Visions, a Journal of Ejuona Acada Front, AKU, Vol.1 No.1, 2000, pp. 66-74, examines the place of women in AKU development efforts within the context of the culturally defined activities under the purview of the women. Through historical nay sociological account, the article captures how the improved egalitarian principles of AKU in comparison with any other culturally defined community elsewhere in Nigeria, encourage her women to be catalysts for development. In farming, trading, community governance, education etc. the women stand out. The outstanding AKU moral system that disposes the AKU women to play significant roles in family and community development is not left out in the article. Areas of improvement to enable the women stand out in contemporary society are also well documented. (Please see the full text of the article in the link that follows for details). Enjoy the piece.
